La Roque-Gageac, beautiful village, scored one of the most beautiful villages in France, is nestled at the foot of his high cliffs full noon, in a loop of the Dordogne. It has an almost Mediterranean climate.
This site has been inhabited since prehistory and abundance of stone found in fields and gardens reflected.
The Gallo-Roman period and the "Pax Romana" allow a broad settlement gentle slopes to the east of the village, with a Roman road. But from
850 years of insecurity, particularly due to the incursions Norman drakkars, incites the population to strengthen and shelter in the protected site between cliff and river.
The Hundred Years War and the wars of religion are on a Roque Gageac stronghold important, impressive and very populated.
A little more sun at the beginning of the ride and the photos would have been more warm, sorry .......
